Innotribe at Sibos Dubai 2013 – introduction of “Journeys”

It’s the fifth year of our flagship ‘Innotribe at Sibos’ event, we’ve decided to do things a little differently.

Our theme? ‘There is light at the end of the tunnel’, and with an actual tunnel to travel down to enter our space in Dubai, we’ve designed our programme like a metro map.

Just like the underground or subway, it’s up to you to decide which “track” to follow, depending on your expertise, interests, learning objectives, and availability.

Our metro-map is an overview of the different tracks available; “toolkits” are practical sessions where you’ll learn new methods of thinking; in other sessions you’ll be able to apply the new techniques you’ve learned. It’s your journey, so you can hop on and off the Innotribe train at specific switching stations of your choice.

Value track

The Value track will explore different aspects of the great value discussion

What is wealth beyond money?

Can everything be measured?

And are we even measuring the right things?

Can we valuate companies based on their intangible assets?

We will look at different dimensions impacting traditional banking business models, ending with being part of an amazing life research project to crowdsource wellbeing.

Innovation track

With sessions that offer deep insights into what is happening in the world of innovation, moving away from polarizing discussions such as open vs closed, incremental vs disruptive, the Innovation track will explore what else is out there beyond open innovation.

The track ends on Thursday morning with a selection of “Power Talks” illustrating how new players are already significantly disrupting banking – and not just the fringes of our industry, but already heading for the core with early signs of scale.

We’re not talking about the distant future, but what’s happening right now!

Practice track

The world has entered a level of complexity that cannot be addressed anymore by conventional, binary and linear thinking. We need new tools, capabilities, and ways of thinking. We need to prepare, plan and be open to new options. These new tools are about forecasting, assessing, and making decisions in different ways, ambitious design thinking with focus on what needs to be achieved, and richer ways of expressing our options through visual thinking and other techniques.

Sessions labelled as “toolkits” in the Practice track are practical sessions to really get ‘hands on’ with these new methods of thinking.

Big Data track

Big Data is an industry trend that we’ve been monitoring for some time now. People, businesses and devices are hyper-connected through highly pervasive networks, creating unimaginable amounts of information.

What if we could tap into the intelligence and insights buried in these networks to devise better strategies for growth? This new environment will require extraordinary insight and adaptability.

This time, we’ll explore how you and your organisation can derive new insights through Network Analytics from all the data that surrounds us.

The Startup Challenge Finale

The Innotribe Startup Challenge 2013 introduces the world’s most promising FinTech and Financial Service startups to the global community of financial institutions, venture capitalists, angels and influencers actively investing in innovation.

It is the Grand Finale of Innotribe’s 2013 regional challenges in the Americas, EMEA and APAC. The ten winning startups and five innovators, selected from hundreds of interesting candidates, will compete in front of a live audience and professional panel of judges for a cash prize of 50,000 USD.

Awe, suspense and excitement guaranteed!

Culmination track

All of the tracks lead to the same destination – the Innotribe Closing Plenary, during which we’ll create a unique ‘campfire’ moment to gather and share our key learnings of the week; what we like and dislike, and which topics should be explored further.
With interactive sessions, immersive learning, mini-talks, demos and more, join us at Innotribe at Sibos to co-discover, co-create and co-deliver solutions for our future.
